Anything other than the typical standards, so many good songs that are just forgoten.

Play, See Emily Play instead of Young Lust, Dead Flowers instead of Brown Sugar.

XM has a great station called Deep Tracks, they play songs I never new existed by major bands. Sometimes you have to sit through some long boring ones from Loggins and Messina (sorry L&M fans)

New one came online from the Sirius merge, channel 59 is Little Stevens Underground, same theory, but more of todays music mixed in (ie, White Stripes/Pink Floyd/Hendrix)

here are a list of songs I wish I can hear on the radio more often

Gypsy: Dead and Gone and Gypsy Queen (both Parts 1 and 2)
Bubble Puppy: Hot Smoke & Sassafraz
Foreigner: Women, Headknocker, Starrider, Love Has Taken Its Toll, Say You Will and Break it Up
Journey: Still They Ride, Walks Like a Lady
Styx: Queen of Spades, Why Me
New England: Don't Ever Wanna Lose Ya
Donnie Iris: Love is Like a Rock
Union: Mainstreet USA
Leroux: Addicted
Seatrain: 13 Questions
Rainbow: anything except for Street of Dreams and Stone Cold
Pat Travers: anything except for Boom Boom (Out Go the Lights)
Bloodrock: D.O.A.
Manfred Mann's Earth Band: anything except for Do Wah Diddy and Blinded By the Light (can't stand the latter!)
Toronto: Your Daddy Don't Know
Wet Willie: Keep on Smilin'
Lighthouse: One Fine Morning
Joe Walsh: Meadows
It's a Beautiful Day: White Bird

I am not liking the "Deep Tracks" station as much as "The VAULT", I personally thought "The VAULT" was better than "Deep Tracks" cause I liked the artist of the week feature and the DJ's (Bob Kranes was my favorite DJ), plus the Progressions show on THE VAULT was IMHO better than Deep Tracks.

I would be upset if more of my favorites got more airplay because then I may grow tired of them. For instance, I would hate if I felt the same way about
YouTube - Sweet - Love Is Like Oxygen as I do about
YouTube - Keep On loving You - REO Speedwagon (HQ Audio). Loving You is not necessarily a bad song just tired of hearing it a million times.

I love See Emily Play! Deep Tracks sometimes confuses me because every so often they play a hit single from a band.

I will have to check out LSU, sounds great!

I don't hear Sweet's "Love is Like Oxygen" nearly as often as I hear "Ballroom Blitz" and "Fox on the Run", as far as "Love is Like Oxygen" the album version is WAY better than the single version, it has a long instrumental break in the middle of the song.

Anything from the Doors, Janice Joplin, The Who, or basically any artist from that era.
